Chapter 927: What Nonsense Are You Spouting? Why Do You Have No Guard on Your Lips?

After Zhui Feng followed them into the house, Chuxue lifted the sack from the dog's back: "Sister, Mom asked me to bring diapers and a swaddling blanket for the baby in your belly."

Saying this, she pulled a bundle out of the sack.

Then she pulled out two smaller cloth bags: "Inside here is the oil-tea flour I prepared for you; in case you get hungry, you can mix it with water and drink it anytime."

Xia Qiu hadn't expected her sister to think of so much for her: "Xue, I truly don't know how to thank you."

Remembering something, she looked at Qiu Shaofeng: "Go get the cotton shoes I made for Chuxue, and also bring that blue bundle from the cabinet."

When Chuxue took out the beef and mutton from the bottom, Qiu Shaofeng had also brought over the things Xia Qiu mentioned.

Xia Qiu handed a pair of brown corduroy cotton shoes to Chuxue: "I made these imitating the style worn by the educated youth in the city; try them on and see if they fit."

These shoes showed at a glance that Xia Qiu had put her heart into them; after all, there was no ready-made pattern, so she had to draft the pattern herself, and although these were handmade shoes, her skilled hands made them look very delicate; Chuxue liked them at first sight: "Sister, you must have gone to a lot of trouble, right?"

Seeing that she liked them, Xia Qiu's face was all smiles: "As long as you like them, that's enough; try them on quickly."

Qiu Shaofeng was quite perceptive: "You two talk; I'll go check on the kitchen."

Without waiting for the sisters to reply, he turned and walked out.

Seeing her brother-in-law leave, Chuxue finally put on the shoes and stood up: "Sister, your craftsmanship is truly impeccable; they look so beautiful."

Xia Qiu hurriedly opened that bundle too: "I also made a pair of trousers for you and Chunxiao each; try them on together as well. If they don't fit, I can alter them for you right now."

After speaking, she even got up and closed the door.

Chuxue, naturally not wanting to spoil the mood, tried on the trousers too: "Sister, you didn't even measure my size; how did you make them fit so perfectly?"

Xia Qiu looked her up and down: "Before I got married, I made the trousers for you and Chunxiao. You've grown a bit taller now and aren't as thin as before, so I just added a little to the measurements."

Chuxue liked them very much: "Sister, you are naturally cut out to be a seamstress. When we can do business in the future, I will definitely invest for you; let's partner up to run a clothing business."

As soon as she said this, Xia Qiu raised her hand and slapped her: "What nonsense are you spouting? Why do you have no guard on your lips? What did I tell you last time? How can you not remember?"

Chuxue knew she was worried about her: "I remember. There are no outsiders here anyway."

Xia Qiu was still not reassured; she got up, opened the door, and looked around outside: "Don't you know walls have ears? With such a big family living together, who knows who is human and who is a ghost? If someone reports you, do you still want to live?"

Chuxue took off the trousers while saying: "I understand. It won't happen again."

Xia Qiu finally let her off the hook and pointed to the other pair of trousers in the bundle: "That one is for Chunxiao; help me take it back."

Saying this, she got up, pulled a wicker basket from under the cabinet, inside which were many dried red dates: "Your brother-in-law exchanged for these a few days ago. I'll keep some; you take some back to Grandpa and Mom."

Chuxue refused: "You keep them to eat; I'll find a way to get some for them later."

Xia Qiu disagreed: "I have these ready-made; why go to the trouble of doing that? Besides, you've already taken care of us quite a bit; how can everything be pressed onto you?"

Saying this, she took two small cloth bags she had sewn herself from the cabinet and started filling them: "I was originally thinking of having your brother-in-law make the trip, but since you're here, I'll trouble you to take them back. My due date is in these few days; your brother-in-law is extremely worried, fearing I'll go into labor as soon as he goes out."
